For 25 years, Land Grant has written professionally — on business and technology —from his home-base in Brooklyn, New York. His byline has appeared on his work for, among others, the Economist Intelligence Unit, FedEx Global, The Exporter, Infrastructure Finance and The Journal of Commerce. After four years of increasing interest in and blogging about 3D Printing, Land founded 3DP Media in May of 2013, as a 3D Printing & Digital Fabrication (3DP) media house, think tank, event creator/producer & system designer to better local-community commerce and common-good via the accelerating "engine" of 3DP. Land Grant's expertise in the 3D Printing marketplace speaks for itself. See his blog and Twitter posts, Vlogs, videos, interviews and commentary on 3DP at his headquarters site (NYC3DP.com) and through his weekly eNewsletter: This Week in NYC3DP. In addition, Land is now 3DPI Staff Writer, New York City based in — and covering — Metro New York and its rapidly evolving 3DP scene.
